It very nice, this means that he has enough money to order you new VFP version

This is not thrue. Win 2000 could suppot 16-bit application, but you can't gain from USB support and will have some printing problems. In reality XP doesn't support DOS apps

Not FVP6.0, better solution is in VFP7.0.

Can the 2.6 App run on Windows 2000 or will it have to be re-written?
My personal advice is: using situation force your customer to pay you for new VFP advane. World go to OS without DOS and now is time to make convertion of the prodicts.
Last two years we make more than 10 conversation of old FP apps in VFP&SQL, acting as a outsourcing center. Our partners support their previous version, while we build for them new apps.
